A lot of newcomers to the domain industry believe that it’s a “free for all<\/em>” playground, a promised land, if you may, with quick returns and very little risk.<\/p>\n

This dangerous approach could not be further from the truth.<\/p>\n

Every single sale requires careful planning and a well-defined strategy in order to maximize its potential return on investment.<\/p>\n

The process begins by acquiring quality domain names<\/strong><\/a> that can generate passive income, have development potential and a long term commitment. Flipping is the ultimate money-risker, and while it’s tempting to make a few bucks, one will most certainly miss the big bucks if they’re far too eager to sell their domain assets quickly.<\/p>\n

Pricing a domain for the end user buyer requires knowledge of the particular market; research can begin with simple Google searches, or with the assistance of specialized tools, such as ZFBot<\/strong><\/a> and DomainTools.<\/p>\n

Similar domains that are listed with a publicly available price, can become reference points when a seller is questioned about their asking price.<\/p>\n

Past domain sales aren’t always indicative of current market prices, however, they offer substantial information on trends and sales potential. One can use NameBio<\/strong><\/a> for that purpose, or the weekly reports from DNJournal<\/strong><\/a>. Mike Berkens seems to post everything related to Afternic, Sedo and Godaddy, so his blog at TheDomains<\/strong><\/a> can be searched as well.<\/p>\n

Your asking price for a particular domain can be adjusted according to the financial footprint of the buyer. If you research your buyer sufficiently, you’ll be able to deduce how far their budget could stretch; however, wealth isn’t always a promise of securing a bigger deal.<\/p>\n

Thus, every domain inquiry requires the psychological profile of the buyer. With practice – and time<\/em> – you will be able to negotiate smarter, resulting in bigger sales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
